What it means to the community

The best way to sum up what this facility provides is “something for everyone”. People of all ages enjoy the convenience of a modern heated facility. It means families getting out and spending quality time together at family skating, a hockey game, or perhaps catching up with an old friend for a few laps around the walking track. The community and multi-purpose rooms are perfect for weddings, showers, reunions and fitness classes.
